The Haskell community is also very opinionated when it comes to style and some of the choices are not to everyone taste. I’m mostly thinking of point-free being seen as an ideal and the liberal usage of operators.


Point-free and liberal use of operators are and have long been minority viewpoints in Haskell.

I say this as someone who prefers symbols, point free, and highly appreciates "notation as a tool of thought".


For a minority viewpoint, it seems fairly pervasive in the library ecosystem at least to me. Then again, I hate most usage of point-free and I think the correct amount of custom operator is exactly zero so I might be particularly sensitive to it.
